Episode #17
Cloud Bobs, Cultural Appropriation & Denied Choice
Why is it that some of the things Black women have created, celebrated and worn for generations are often criticised, restricted or viewed negatively until someone else adopts them? In this thought-provoking episode, Lady C and Queen Sim unpack the everyday choices and freedoms that have often been denied to Black women while being taken for granted by others. From hairstyles and beauty standards to workplace expectations and cultural expression, they explore the double standards that continue to shape experiences today. The conversation also delves into how elements of Black culture are frequently rebranded, repackaged and sold back to the very communities that originated them, often at a premium and without recognition of their roots. Expect honest reflections, plenty of passion and a few laughs along the way as the Cocoa Sistahs tackle issues of identity, equity, visibility and value.
